One of my favorite questions for sparking conversation beyond simply yapping about "crypto" has always been, "before Bitcoin clicked for you, would you have agreed that 'money is the root of all evil'?"

just to clarify my own position: I think Bitcoin makes the costs and incentives around financial systems much more obvious than they are with the fiat shell game. I don't think Bitcoin is a magic bullet for solving any of the problems that are more fundamental to humanity societies or biological phenomena in general.
